I'm still debating what to do my thesis on. I want to somehow show how economics must be addressed when creating environmentally-preferable change.. I want to compare two case studes: what I've done to "Green Up" my local Whole Foods Market (I'm the Green Mission Rep. there) and the work I'm doing at New College on their waste stream. I'm really big into "green" purchasing/product alternatives and want to figure out the best methods to mainstream it I'm a third year, so I've got a little bit of time to work on this. Phew!

As for the other poster, I work two pretty professional jobs. I'm the Membership Manager at this really awesome environmental consulting (kind of) place (www.sarasotagreenconnection.com) and I'm the Green Mission Representative at Whole Foods Market, Sarasota. I go to regional meetings, for example, have a meeting across the state with the regional VP, meet with clients, work with various other companies to create business relationships, etc. No one has really cared how I look b/c I know my seriously know my shit. I'm glad that they see what's really important versus freaking out over a hair color, metal through my flesh, ink, etc.

that sounds like a pretty nice little niche... glad youre doing well with it. Out of curiosity, are you strictly focusing your research on the economics of greeningsociety or throwing in other factors, and if so, what are some of the other main factors?

also, do you think it can be done? (solely through economics, that is.)

just curious,
Steve
